Happy 4th of July! Growing up Mr. DAPs’ grandmother often made Angel Food cake during the summer. This year for the Fourth of July Mr. DAPs is joined by Caitie to share exactly how she made this wonderful summertime dessert with a patriotic flare. This is a light cake that is wonderful to enjoy on a warm summer day. One word of caution, decorate it in as cool of a setting as possible as the cool whip WILL melt (as you’ll see briefly in this video). All that aside, this is a wonderful (and easy) dessert to make that has lots of happy memories for Mr. DAPs.
We hope you have a very happy and safe 4th of July! Give this recipe a try and then share in the comments how it turned out for you! Hope you enjoy!
